This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:

  • The SAS® Data Integration Studio job uses DATA step name literals as table names.  (Example:  "DataSetName"n.) 
  • The BRM_CODE_TYPE property is set to DS2, or it is left unset.

To work around the problem, add the following statement to the precode of the transformation in SAS Data Integration Studio.

%let BRM_CODE_TYPE=DS1;  

Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.

After you apply the hot fix, the %BRM_RULE_FLOW macro supports a DATA step name literal without error.
